If I could tackle him through my TV and fix them, I would.
ITA. Although, if I could tackle him through the TV, the glasses probably wouldn't be the first thing I'd do. Mreow.
Saffron: But we've been wed. Aren't we to become one flesh? Mal: Well, no, uh... We're still two fleshes here, and I think that your flesh ought to sleep somewhere else.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I am looking forward to the starbuck episode - but I think it is because I like her character more.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
But the downside of having a flat lense is that it will sometimes reflect a light directly into a camera.
Oh, I get it. So only people who don't need glasses but are wearing them for the character have this problem. Considering how many wicked blind people there are in the world (and Hollywood), this problem just must not come up that often.

If I only had a brain...
Yeah, but I think wicked blind people have their own problems -- not wearing glasses because the character wouldn't, and having to fight squints or bump into things.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

That's why blooper reels were invented.

And contact lenses. Although why Daniel Jackson doesn't wear contacts or get laser surgery has never been explained adequately. What other use does he have for his money, after all?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Daniel did eventually get contacts, though it took him too long. Maybe he just didn't like them. I always did wonder why he never got lasik. He's often in situations where it would be really really bad to get some dirt under your contact lens or lose your glasses and not be able to see. I'm scared of lasik, but I've thought of doing it just to make camping easier.

I just wish I had access to the alien technology that has protected his glasses through so many traumatic events. They are way sturdier than any pair I've ever owned, not to mention apparently unloseable.

He still wears glasses most of the time, though.
The meta-issue with the glasses, I fear, is that without them he'd look too much like Mitchell. Which I don't buy, necessarily, but at a distance? Okay, yeah. Still, annoying.
Word, Ginger. And he never has to stop and futz around to get his prescription sunglasses out, the way I do.
